         This Statement  relates to the shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") of
Brantley Cap Corp. The address of Issuer's principal officers is  20600  Chagrin
Boulevard, Suite 1150, Cleveland, Ohio 44122.

Item 2.           Identity and Background

         This Amendment Statement is filed on behalf of all persons and entities
and participants of Resource Management,  Inc., an entity incorporated under the
laws of the  State of Ohio and  commonly  known as the  Maxus  Investment  Group
(hereinafter  "MIG"),  Richard  A.  Barone,  an  individual   (hereinafter  "Mr.
Barone"),  Maxus Asset Management Inc, an entity  incorporated under the laws of
the State of Ohio  (hereinafter  "MAM")  and Maxus  Securities  Corp,  an entity
incorporated  under  the laws of the  State  of Ohio  (hereinafter  "MSC").  The
aforementioned  person and entities are  collectively  referred to herein as the
"Filing Persons". The business address of the aforementioned person and entities
is 1301 East Ninth Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1800.

         The Filing Persons each disclaim  membership in a Group as such term is
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules
and Regulations  promulgated thereunder.  However,  because of the relationships
between and among the Filing Persons described  herein,  they determined to make
this filing.

         MAM is a registered  investment  advisor having the power to dispose of
the Shares owned by the investment clients for which it acts as advisor.  MSC is
a broker-dealer.  MIG is a financial services  corporation which owns all of the
outstanding shares of MAM and MSC. Mr. Barone is the controlling  shareholder of
MIG and is  principally  employed as Chairman and  President of MIG, MAM and MSC
and as Chairman of Maxus Income Fund, Maxus Equity Fund and Maxus Laureate Fund,
all of which  are  registered  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940.  See
Amended  Exhibit  A  attached  to  this  amended  Schedule  13D  for  additional
information on executive officers.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         MAM owns no  Shares  directly  but may be deemed  to  beneficially  own
(within the meaning of Rule  13(d)(3) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934)
285,200 Shares purchased by MAM for the account of its investment  clients.  MAM
disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares.
<PAGE>
Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         The Filing Persons acquired Shares to establish investment positions in
the Issuer.  Subject to market and business  conditions and other  factors,  the
Filing Persons may intend to purchase additional Shares. However, depending upon
such factors,  the Filing Persons may also maintain  their present  ownership of
Shares or sell some or all of the Shares.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Set forth below for the Filing Persons, in the aggregate, is the number
of Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned as of January 9, 1998,and
the percentage of the Shares outstanding represented by such ownership (based on
3,811,000 shares outstanding):

Name:                              No. of Shares         Percent of Class

Maxus Asset Management, Inc.(1)      285,200                   7.48 %

Maxus Securities Corp(2)

     (1) These  Shares  are owned by  investment  clients  of MAM and MAM may be
deemed to  beneficially  own these  Shares by reason of its power to  dispose of
such Shares under its Investment  Management  Agreement with such clients.  MAM,
however, disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Shares. (2) These Shares are
owned by brokerage  clients of MSC. MSC may be deemed to beneficially  own these
Shares by virtue of such  relationship,  although it has no contractual power to
vote or dispose of such Shares. MSC disclaims  beneficial  ownership of all such
Shares.  (3) Mr. Barone owns no Shares  directly but, by virtue of his positions
as Chairman and  President of MAM and MIG he may be deemed to  beneficially  own
the 285,200  Shares  which may be deemed to be  beneficially  owned by MAM.  Mr.
Barone disclaims  beneficial  ownership of all such Shares.  (4) MIG owns 10,000
Shares,  and the MIG 401k Plan ownes  5,000  directly,  but MIG may be deemed to
beneficially own the 285,200 Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned
by MAM. MIG, however, disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Shares. (5) MAM
and its investment clients share the power to dispose of the Shares which may be
deemed to be beneficially  owned by MAM. By virtue of their relationship to MAM,
MIG and Mr.  Barone may also be deemed to share such  power.  None of the Filing
Persons  has any power to vote the Shares.  (6)  Exhibit B attached  hereto sets
forth the  transactions  in Shares effected by the Filing Persons since original
filing,  the dates of such  transactions  and the per Share purchase price.  The
Shares were traded on the American Stock Exchange.

arrangements,  understanding  or  relationships  (legal or otherwise)  among the
